TRPA1 mediates NADPH oxidase‐dependent cerebral artery dilation (1079.1)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Activation of the Ca 2+ ‐permeable transient receptor potential (TRP) ankyrin (A) channel TRPA1 in the cerebral artery endothelium with electrophilic compounds induces dilation. Endogenous agonists for endothelial TRPA1 have not been reported. We hypothesized that H 2 O 2 is an endogenous agonist for TRPA1 in this tissue. H 2 O 2 can be generated by NADPH oxidase (NOX) activity via production of a O 2 ‐ intermediate or directly by NOX isoform NOX4. We find that activation of NOX with its substrate, NADPH, increases TRPA1 activity and induces dilation of pressurized cerebral arteries (80 mmHg) that is blocked by TRPA1 inhibitor HC‐030031 (HC) and H 2 O 2 degradation by catalase. In the presence of iron, H 2 O 2 is converted to highly reactive oxygen radicals, such as OH•, by the Fenton reaction. To distinguish between direct effects of H 2 O 2 vs. those of OH• or OH• metabolites we inhibited the Fenton reaction by chelating iron with deferoxamine. Deferoxamine attenuated NADPH‐induced TRPA1 activation and vasodilation, suggesting that OH• formation is required for NOX‐dependent TRPA1 activation. OH• peroxidizes membrane lipids yielding lipid peroxidation products (LPP). The LPP 4‐hydroxynonenal increased TRPA1 activity and induced cerebral artery dilation that was blocked by HC. Together, these data suggest that NOX‐dependent LPP generation activates TRPA1 in cerebral artery endothelial cells to induce vasodilation. Grant Funding Source : Supported by HL091905

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
